I have little to no experience with invertebrates so I was hoping to get a little info from the experts here. I recently rescued these and some other items from going into the dumpster. The only information I have on them is that they were from a collection of an avid fossil hunter who lived in the South Dakota Nebraska area and passed away many years ago. I have quite a few more of these shells with a couple of them being encased in some hard matrix that I will post later in another thread. There was also a big chunk of hash plate with them.

First I want to say hi to everyone! Been picking up rocks and poking around in hillsides since I was a kid. Until recently I mostly had no idea what I was looking at.. but I’ve always been really good at finding goodies. With that, I’d like to share some things I’ve found in the last couple of weeks! There is a quarter on there somewhere! This is one of the smaller plates that have washed out. This is not Sugar Creek. The creek was high from the recent rain, but the last time I was on the other side, that shelf

Hash plates are among my favourite of fossils and they are fantastic to photograph. So please add some of your beautiful photographs of your stunning plates. Properly one of my favourite Hash Plate. I found it in a river in Wales Uk when I was 16 and camping . It reminds me of the The Nazca Lines , Nazca Desert, in southern Peru.

I was wondering what are fossil hash’s? Also what is the plural of hash anyway? Are they worth my time or are they just “garbage” pieces? *Note when I say “garbage” I mean pieces that aren’t worth prepping.

Hi, I pulled this Crinoids fossil hash plate out of a hill today. I may have seen the mystery in Lake Michigan mud stone, but not raised up or nearly as large. Ideas? Thanks. item is 4 in x 2 5/8th x 7/8th thick. unknown item is 1 in long x 1/2 inch wide.

Brought home and broke up a small boulder from an area the town used as a rock dump. This is either Marcellus or Harrel/Brallier Shale. Very sparkly. I know that they'll rot eventually but I'll enjoy them in the meantime! I think that the 4th photo shows a trilo bit or maybe another brach.

I helped one of my friends make a hanger for his huge Ohio hash plate. I guestimate it weights 15 pounds. I learned this technique from Harry Pristis, and only slightly modified it from what he posted. I used two steel rods from Lowes, and two turnbuckles from Home Depot. The materials cost was about $10. I used a wire bending jig to create two W-shaped "hangers" as shown. This jig was one like this; costs about $5. I bent the end of the hangers over to hook onto the plate. I used two turnbuckles to attach the rods together- and

All found in the same area in NE Oklahoma near a river. Any info would be appreciated since I don't know much about fossils. Is the brown on pic #5 something? I know the basic ones like crinoids and the obvious brachiopod or gastropod. Or any info on polishing up some of the smaller chunks? I seen a couple of posts about brass brushes. (I didn't want to create multiple posts to the ID and Preparation forums, just let me know if I should.) Sorry about the pics that are blurred. And that's not all of them. I still have these to go through...

Thanks to forum member (and fellow DPS member) BobWill taking me into a couple of sites that he has access to, I found these beauties on Monday. This big guy's out of a creek cutting through the Duck Creek formation. He was just lying there half-buried in the float. This smaller ammo is from the same creek. Nice keel on it! (Continued.. )
